Changing Floor Coverings

[Wacky Dee]

has anyone here changed their floor coverings ? if so how much did it cost? I'd like to change mine from the standard grey to just plain black... doesn't have to be any fancy material ie. any better than the factory one, just black.

I'm guessing motor trimmers can make these up but I'm not sure if Nissan also have ones that you can order from them in black colour .. Just wondering what other people have paid if going through motor trimmers.

Reason I'm considering this is because I'm most likely getting cream coloured leatherette seat covers and the car is otherwise black (incl. black nismo mat) and grey floor coverings would just ruin the overall look

cheaper option might actually be to get some carpet spray paints/dye and do that instead .. has anyone tried this ?

lol i was gonna suggest getting it professionally cleaned and dyeing the carpet black.. sounds interesting.. wouldnt mind doing this myself

I spoke to a guy at uticolour ..who are apparently the top carpet dying company ... and he recommended I just get new carpets installed instead - he reckoned it'd look a lot better.

I've still gotta get the number off him for a trimmer that he recommended .. I'll let you know what I get quoted.

Hi mate,

I think, it's call Mold Carpet. cost around $200 plus delivery. but, u have to do the work urself.. i can find out the company who making it, if u want (this avro). prices are depend on the thickness pile. they do almost every make and model. i had one for 180sx.. don't see the problem with skyline.

hope this help

I've checked that moulded carpet place and they don't have a mould for the R34 .. plus their moulds are without any holes so a lot of work is involved as you have to cut the centre console/handbreak holes etc Might as well take it to this trimmer and get him to make one up on the spot.. probably not much more than $200 anyway
